[PATCH v13 15/25] kasan, mm: perform untagged pointers comparison in krealloc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The krealloc function checks where the same buffer was reused or a new one
allocated by comparing kernel pointers. Tag-based KASAN changes memory tag
on the krealloc'ed chunk of memory and therefore also changes the pointer
tag of the returned pointer. Therefore we need to perform comparison on
untagged (with tags reset) pointers to check whether it's the same memory
region or not.
